Abstract: Quantum plasma with arbitrary degree degeneration of electronic gas is considered. Plasma is in two external electromagnetic fields. It is required to find the plasma response on this fields. From Wigner kinetic equation for the quantum collisionless plasmas distribution function in square-law approach on sizes of vector potentials of two electric fields is received. The formula for calculation electric current at any temperature (any degree of degeneration of electronic gas) is deduced. This formula contains an one-dimensional quadrature. It is shown, that the nonlinearity account leads to occurrence the longitudinal electric current directed along a wave vectors. This longitudinal current is orthogonal to a known transversal current, received at the linear analysis. The case of small values of wave numbers is considered. It is shown, that in case of small values of wave numbers a longitudinal current in quantum plasma coincides with a longitudinal current in classical plasma.
